The Other Side of the Fence

Knowing that I have had a Flip-Pal Mobile Scanner for some time Alan Phillips from Gould Genealogy, who is now importing these devices into Australia, asked me if I would demonstrate the gadget during a couple of breaks at the recent Genealogy Congress in Adelaide. I must not have blotted my copybook at that event as Alan has invited me to do a few repeat performances.

I spent a couple of pleasant days at the Shoalhaven Family History Fair in Nowra demonstrating the Flip-Pal. As well as demonstrating the scanner on the
Gould Genealogy stand at the Unlock the Past Brisbane Expo I gave three talks about using the Flip-Pal and organising one's images with Picasa. my three other presentations were on Geneablogging, Geneawebinars and Google+ for Genealogy. My latest appearance was at the Parramatta Unlock the Past event last Friday where I put the-Pal through its paces in the breaks between the talks at the Unlock the Past seminar.

As Carole said, it is a great photo of you Jill. And thanks so much or helping out with the demoing. They're great little machines, but they do need someone to show them just how they work, and how easy they are use - to really appreciate them. THANKYOU!

Sounds like you and Gould Genealogy have a great partnership and are a great example to those of us considering using sponsorship has a means to attending more conferences. Thanks for showing us how it's done
